TEACHING
Krishna is a highly experienced piano teacher with a successful career spanning nearly two decades. She offers comprehensive piano instruction to students from the beginner level through to advanced diploma and professional examinations.
Her expertise extends to working with students of all ages, with a particular focus on foundational skills for young kids from age of 5. Krishna's pedagogical philosophy centers on building a strong rapport with each student to understand their individual needs and musical objectives.
As a classically trained pianist and a specialist in the acclaimed Taubman Approach, Krishna is uniquely qualified to guide students in developing a robust technical and artistic foundation. This method promotes a natural and efficient playing technique, effectively mitigating the risk of pianistic injury. Through this systematic approach, students gain a high level of technical security, a nuanced command of tone and dynamics, and the freedom to express their unique musical voice.

For young learners, Krishna integrates "Music Mind Games" (by Michiko Yurko) into her lessons to make music theory and literacy both enjoyable and highly effective. Digital teaching applications are also used where appropriate to enhance the learning experience.
Krishna organizes twice-yearly student concerts in Melbourne, providing a valuable performance platform in a semi-formal and supportive atmosphere. While she accommodates students learning for leisure, she also offers dedicated preparation for AMEB and ABRSM practical and theory examinations. Krishna also provides professional accompaniment services for instrumentalists preparing for exams, auditions, and performances.
